Seaglider is Deployed

Seaglider is deployed in the waters offshore La Push, Washington. Its orange antenna allows it to communicate with on-shore scientists each time it breaks the surface. After a dive, Seaglider communicates with satellites and sends a text message to the researchers’ phones, letting them know it will be transmitting data and giving them a status check on the glider’s health!
